Psyco not detected

In Bactrack 4 R1. After.... apt-get update apt-get install and apt-get dist-upgrade.. When execute Fast-Track.. the following error "Psyco not detected....Recommend installing it for increased speeds. Command-line mode is being depreciated."

Re: Psyco not detected

Well I am not sure if this is really a bug. There may have been some changes do to recent updates of fasttrack.
Just install psycho and you will be good to go, I believe you can do so right from the FT directory, look for a install or setup script. I don't remember the name right off hand, and don't have access to my BT machine. If you get stuck just post back and I will look into it again.

EDIT: In /pentest/exploits/fasttrack/ run # ./setup.py and it will take care of things for you.

Re: Psyco not detected

Hi Archangel-Amael. I did the same as FaceOff. Though I got this error. python: can't open file 'ftgui': [Errno 2] No such file or directory. I checked the /pentest/exploits/fasttrack folder and saw the ftgui. When I ran Fast-track again I got the same error and noticed the ftgui folder missing. I ran the ./setup.py and python install, but fast track is still not working. I am running off a USB persistant stick and have not had any problems with Fast Track until I Dist-upgraded? Any guesses? Is there a fix in the repos for this?

Re: Psyco not detected

Revision 343 and still have the same error (python: can't open file 'ftgui': [Errno 2] No such file or directory) when I do Backtrack/Penetration/Fast Track/Fast Track Web GUI. Opened up a shell and type ./fast-track.py -g, it works but the Web GUI does not? I noticed a python 2.5-dev connection error when I do the python setup.py install command? Have not had any problems with Fast-track up until now.

Re: Psyco not detected

I, too, have had issues with errors after updating fasttrack.

My fix:

Code:

apt-get remove fasttrack
apt-get install fasttrack

This doesn't really address the issues behind the update breaking scripts, but it at least allows you to revert back to basics (rel1k's post is currently not an option due to secmaniac.com being down with a DNS error).
